intracranial aneurysm/obesity

OBJECTIVE To compare endovascular versus surface methods for the induction and reversal of hypothermia during neurosurgery in a multicenter, prospective, randomized study. METHODS Patients undergoing elective open craniotomy for repair of an unruptured cerebral aneurysm (n = 153) were randomly

Cerebral artery aneurysm rupture is usually associated with significant subarachnoid hemorrhage; however, there are rare cases where there is a lack of hemorrhage into the subarachnoid space. While subdural hemorrhage can occur with ruptured aneurysms, isolated subdural hemorrhage is more often

OBJECTIVEThe complex decision analysis of unruptured intracranial aneurysms entails weighing the benefits of aneurysm repair against operative risk. The goal of the present analysis was to build and validate a predictive scale that identifies patients with the greatest odds of a postsurgical adverse

Objective: The repair of unruptured intracranial aneurysms has increased since 2000. In this study, we analyzed the Nationwide Readmission Database (NRD) to determine the rate of 90-day readmission. Our objective is to examine readmission

OBJECTIVE To conduct a pilot trial of mild intraoperative hypothermia during cerebral aneurysm surgery. METHODS One hundred fourteen patients undergoing cerebral aneurysm clipping with (n = 52) (World Federation of Neurological Surgeons score < or =III) and without (n = 62) acute aneurysmal

OBJECTIVE To report the use of a transradial approach to coil embolization of an intracranial aneurysm in a morbidly obese patient. METHODS When the transfemoral approach was inaccessible in a morbidly obese patient with a ruptured intracranial aneurysm, coil embolization was performed via a 6-F

OBJECTIVE Although reoperation and readmission have been used as quality metrics, there are limited data evaluating the rate of, reasons for, and predictors of reoperation and readmission after microsurgical clipping of unruptured aneurysms. METHODS Adult patients who underwent craniotomy for

BACKGROUND This study was undertaken to determine variables that could predict, in the perioperative period of anterior communicating artery (ACom) aneurysms surgeries, the likelihood of postoperative sequelae and complications, after temporary arterial occlusion (TAO). METHODS In a universe of 32

We retrospectively examined partial arterial pressure of oxygen (Pao2) afer subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), adjusted for patient-related risk factors for hypoxemia in 51 adult patients with no disturbance of consciousness undergoing surgery for clipping of intracranial aneurysms. A control group of

Pulmonary embolism following postoperative deep venous thrombosis is a very serious complication with a high mortality rate. Though this disorder has been thought to be rare in Japanese, its occurrence seems to be increasing recently because of changes in eating habits, increase of average age and

Modifiable risk factors like obesity, hypertension, smoking, physical inactivity or atrial fibrillation account for a significant proportion of the risk for ischaemic stroke, but genetic variation is also believed to contribute to the risk, although few genetic risk variants were identified to date.

BACKGROUND Resource allocation decisions currently lack standard quantitative methods for incorporating concerns about the worse off when analysing the cost-effectiveness of medical interventions. OBJECTIVE To explore and demonstrate how to identify who are the worse off without a new intervention

The risk factors of stroke in young adults and in the whole population are the same in general, but there are some special risk factors in young adults. They are congenital or early acquired diseases which are complicating with early stroke. We studied the risk factors of cerebrovascular insults in
